Obituary
"Leaves have their time to fail, 
And flowers to wither at the northwind's breath, 
And stars to set--but all, 
Thou has seasons for thy own, O, death."

Died on the 30th ult of consumption, Mrs. Louisa [sic] Loftin, aged 70 years, 
the wife of Mr. James Loftin of Meriwether County, Ga.
The subject of this notice was born in Lanier County, N. C. and moved to 
Wilkinson County, of this State at its early settlement, where she joined the 
Baptist church, was Baptisted by the Rev. Jesse Pierce, about 42 years ago, 
from which time she lived a moral pious, upright and religious life, has ever 
been an affectionate wife, and a lovely and kind mother.  During her last 
illness with the diseae, under which she has been laboring for the last ten 
years, she would often express a strong confidence in her saviour, and 
resignation to the will of God.  She died insensible of the pain of death, and 
almost without a struggle, and has gone home to heaven, where the wicked cease 
to trouble, and the weary are at rest.  She has left an aged husband, four 
sons, and numerous relatives and friends to mourn their bereavement, but their 
loss is her gain.
W.

Note:  Although the obituary reads "Louisa" this is clearly the obituary 
for "Lovisa" Loftin, proven by Bible, toombstone, and other records.
